All I read here is just talk about the weather, ain't anybody going to do something about it?

Am not looking forward to rain as predicted Fri, Sat, Sun.
At least I can get a lot of cedar cut and ready to forward out.  Log yard is on a hill top with a 3' deep clay base.  Won't take too much travel to make it....

Put 4 loads rock in mill yard and it is holding up nice.  Cedar has been coming in at a good pace, but I expect this week to slow down.

Rain, rain go away, come again some other day.

I know there are rain dances to make it rain.  Are there unrain dances?

I forgot to mention about the stike action going on right now that the department of highways is part of.  The managers of each branch are the only workers right now.  It poses a potentionally dangerous situation out there.  How are the ambulances, police, firetrucks and other rescue units supposed to do there jobs when the roads are blocked.  The strike action is all a part of the big SGEU strike lobbying for better pay and benefits.  Some workers have not had pay increases in over 5 years and deserve it.  The government will not match or come to deal with the Saskatchewan Government Employees Union members.  Some of the members included are environment and resource management employees, Correctional workers,  and Department of Highways workers.  Not a pleasant time..........

 SwampDonkey,
Read your post about three times before it dawned on me what you were saying.

   30° here, snow has almost stopped but almost 4 inches on the ground.

We had another windstorm yesterday, power was off when I got home. Fire trucks were being used as roadblocks as their crews were clearing fallen trees. Still, I don't miss the weather Coon is getting, had enough of that.

We made those special characters available in the "reply" screen too.  They are just above "change color"

been there a year now.  Jeff and I were sitting at the computer late one night when he was down visiting and it just seemed like a good thing to put on there.  The cent sign is what started it and we got carried away.

For some reason I couldn't find it there, but was looking right at it.  :D :D :D


But, at least the other procedure is there if someone wants to try it in Word or InDesign or something.

I always thought plows were one of those professions that couldn't go on strike or a kind of working strike.  Still gotta do their job while negotiations are taking place, then are reimbursed for the time the 'strike' started for wages/bene's gained.  If someone died because an ambulance couldn't get down a road that should've been plowed, wouldn't the highway dept. be charged with negligence in some way?

BTW most places snowplows are concidered emergency vehicles, even if the roads are passable.  I got my car totalled by one that ran a stop sign, couldn't do nothing about it  >:( >:(  smiley_furious  Guess the plow driver was too concerned about the little patch of snow left from entering the street and not watchin the main highway.  Bad karma though, that towns highway garage burned to the ground a couple months later -  I only got accused a couple times of bein the one that did it  :-\

We are under a flash flood watch this weekend. A little rain tonight, safe tomorrow, rain coming in Sat, big rains Sun and rain then snow, going cold into the low 20's middle of the week.  I am sick of rain.

Cedarman,  I hear you on the rain.  It is suppose to rain here Friday and Saturday before it gets cold again.  But look on the bright side with the flood and cold weather you will soon be able to skid on the ice, down hill only though. ::)

Went out after visiting here yesterday and there was 4" of wet snow on the ground. :o Spent an hour shovelling the drive and sidewalk. Another inch or so fell in the afternoon. Clear and cold (for here), -6C this morning.

White River floodwater has closed the highway north of town for several days already. (This happens usually a couple or three times a year.)  Heavy rain due this weekend ought to really force it higher.  Not looking forward to all the rain. go_away

This fall I was out to the Hargrove maple sugary and that place is huge. They must have 1000 acres tapped.  All I could see was pipes and sugar maples for miles. It's set up on crown land as the government has leases for maple syrup producers. I have an aerial photo of the area on my computer, because I was navigating my way back into a private lot.

Well in 2004 they expanded from 45,000 taps to 105,000 with 3 full time employees and 8 seasonal. At the time they were awarded an ACOA grant of $385,850.

For the first time this winter we have ordinary weather now.
-18 degrees celsius and some 30 cm(1 foot) of snow. Before this it was just raining when it was supposed to be midwinter.
